Chapter 13 Creating Analytic Grids

In addition, related display fields and related edit fields behave the same for analytic grids as they do for

ordinary grids.

Manipulating the Analytic Grid at Runtime

Yourjobasana

pplication developer is not finished at design time. You can perform several tasks at runtime

to ensure that

the analytic grid works as desired:

• All data for the analytic grid can be accessed using the PeopleCode RowSet class, as with the regular grid.

You can write business logic to m anipulate this data.

See Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleBook: PeopleCode Developer’s Guide, “Accessing the Data Buffer”.

the Analytic

Grid in PeopleCode.

• If necessary

, use the RowInit event to populate data for application data fields.

The record de

finition associated with a cube collection—an d, therefore, with the analytic grid—can have

fields that a

re not mapped to the cube collection’s cubes or dimensions. These extra application data fields

are treated a

s non-dimensional fields. They are not populated automatically by the PeopleSoft Analytic

Calculation

Engine. The RowInit event is fired for each row as it is retrieved from the database, and provides

the opportu

nity for the application to populate these ap plication fields with the appropriate data.

See Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleBook: PeopleCode Developer’s Guide, “PeopleCode and the

Component Processor,” RowInit Event.

• Use PeopleCode to manipulate the analytic model and analytic grid data, as well as change the display of

the analytic grid.
